Product Overview:
This TPE material is specially engineered for the manufacture of gas masks, respirators, and industrial protective facepieces. It offers a perfect balance between comfort, durability, and sealing performance, making it ideal for applications where safety and human contact are top priorities.

Formulated for flexibility and long-term skin contact, this compound conforms to the contours of the human face to form an effective airtight seal. At the same time, it resists chemicals, extreme temperatures, and repeated disinfection — meeting the demanding standards of military, medical, and industrial safety equipment.

Key Features:

  • Skin Compatibility: Hypoallergenic and free of latex, phthalates, halogens, and heavy metals. Suitable for extended wear in direct contact with skin.

  • Superior Sealing Performance: High elasticity and recovery ensure a secure, leak-proof fit for a wide range of users, critical in gas and fume protection.

  • Chemical Resistance: Resists alcohol-based disinfectants, oils, acids, and industrial gases without degradation or surface cracking.

  • Durability & Tear Resistance: Withstands flexing, twisting, and prolonged mechanical stress without losing shape or seal.

  • Thermal Stability: Performs reliably in environments ranging from -40°C to +100°C, making it suitable for outdoor and emergency conditions.

  • Process-Friendly: Easily processed through standard injection molding or overmolding onto PC, PP, or ABS mask bodies.

  • Lightweight Comfort: Enables the creation of lightweight mask designs that reduce wearer fatigue over long periods.

Applications:

  • Industrial gas masks

  • Full-face and half-face respirators

  • Military and emergency response respirators

  • Firefighter breathing apparatus

  • Medical or lab safety facepieces

Whether you’re manufacturing PPE for hazardous environments or high-end civilian respirators, this TPE compound delivers the protection, comfort, and quality your end users demand.
